This Swede project was my absolute favorite assignment we have done. I typically tend to keep my work serious, rarely any part would be amusing for me. However, this Swede let me be silly and actually have fun. I got out of my comfort zone to create something I love.
In editing, I overlaid the original sound over my film, in doing so I kept the video along with the sound (screen recorded the clip) and whenever the scene changed in the original clip, I spilt the video in order to help me get the correct duration. That helped the editing process go by much faster and simpler, since I didn't have to constantly rewind the clip on my phone and try to match the duration by hand.
During filming, I only did long takes of all the shots taken, due to not having another person at the camera. This led to a longer time editing, I had to remove any part that wasn't usable, then decide which clip was better to use. Next time I would definitely remember to make separate takes for each shot.
As for the camera, I either need to find someone or figure a way to constantly see what's happening. The loss of sight can lead to me getting more takes than I need and taking longer to film in general.
My ambition for this project was high, and there's nothing negative about that, although, when it leads over 10hours of work put into a 16 second clip, it feels like a waste. I wouldn't change a second I spent on this project, but I know if the deadlines were stricter, I wouldn't make them. I procrastinate to hours until something is due, plus I have a low motivation towards art every now and then. My ambition will stay high, I just feel that it should be lowered because I know how I can get and barely make in time, with subpar results.
